Help Us Save Lives by Raising Awareness of Blood Clots

Every day, people across the UK are affected by blood clots — often suddenly, often without warning. Thrombosis UK exists to improve awareness, support those living with thrombosis, and ensure that everyone at risk has access to clear, trusted information.

 

Your support helps us continue this vital work.

Why Your Support Matters

Blood clots are common, serious and often preventable. Yet too many people still don’t know the signs, risk factors or when to seek help.

 

With your support, we can:

  • Provide free, medically reviewed patient resources
  • Run support meetings for people recovering from a DVT or PE
  • Deliver community awareness sessions to schools, workplaces and community groups
  • Develop and maintain the Let’s Talk Clots app, giving trusted information at people’s fingertips
  • Strengthen our Patient & Public Involvement (PPI) programme, ensuring lived experience drives our work
  • Support volunteers across the UK to deliver local awareness events
  • Campaign nationally for better prevention, early diagnosis and patient support

Ways You Can Support Us

Whether you donate, fundraise, volunteer, share your story or partner with us — every action helps save lives.

1. Make a Donation

Every donation — large or small — helps us continue providing support and awareness resources free of charge.

  • Monthly donation: Provide stable support that we can rely on
